What is really super innovative in this case is baring phones that due to their price market do not in any way shape or form compete with Apple phones (one is a bit more expensive but has an actual keyboard). So Apple just being dicks abusing a non-innovative or original patent, sticking to a competitor to drive those customers to, what another competitors products, for why?
You follow common sense. In this, they are in fact not police officers and are running the risk of committing a criminal act in misrepresenting themselves as police officers. Police officers are only police officers in their country of origin and have zero right beyond that. In attempting to act in a policing manner in a country beyond their jurisdiction they are technically misrepresenting themselves as having policing rights. You should consider reporting them to local policing authorities and seeing whether criminal charges are appropriate.
So the appropriate act when contacted by anyone representing themselves in any communication as police officers from a foreign nation seeking anything at all from you, is to report them to your local police force and let it follow through proper legal channels and in this case the required reprimand for an illegal act.
That is the advantage of the notebook over the tablet, you can armour up the clam shell. In fact in a school environment it makes sense to create a specific up armoured shock absorbing clam shell within which you mount the notebook at least when they still manage to break the notebook you can reuse the armoured shock absorbing clam shell. Now if you say you can do the same with a tablet, er, why screw around you have a lid why not the keyboard. The other message never ever have anything to do with News Corporation they are masters of propaganda and not performance, hence never to be trusted with anything.
That is a propaganda lie. Proof is easy, these following infrastructure items all cost more than communications infrastructure; roads, gas services, power services, sewerage services and storm water services. All of the cost more to build and more to maintain. Funnily enough not one of them in metropolitan areas is subject to population density. When it comes to linking cities of course roads cost way and above the cost of putting a cable in the ground.
Reality is, countries with substantive infrastructure also have one other burden, incumbent telecommunications firms run by psychopaths who routinely lie, deceive and misrepresent reality in order to generate greater profits. Lies to keep rotting copper profitable, lies to prevent self publishing and attempt to monopoly publishers, lies to restrict bandwidth in order to be able to charge more for it, lies to prevent governments working around that insane greed in order to create what is becoming an essential broadband service.
It is all to do with the bullshit principles of privatisation and commercialisation. Why so many, each and every corporate insurance entity is entitled to equal non-exclusionary access. Now add in multiple policies from each insurance entity and you get horrendous complication. What it to work easily, Keep It Simple Stupid, 'SINGLE PAYER' but the horror that's communism.
That the NSA/CIA/FBI think it is appropriate to break every other countries laws and treat their citizens as sub-human is not really their fault but directly tied back to the Imperialistic and exploitative attitude of the US Government and the Corporations that run it. Now this is bad enough but the truth is American exceptionalism based upon ego and ignorance means the majority of Americans agree with it including the sub-human and the subsequent have no rights part. So it is a core problem the United States of America and it's threat to the rest of the world.
Simple solution, smart phone app and bluetooth restaurant menu. Each person makes their own order and the service staff directly track and confirm each order to a specific person and deliver the appropriate individual bill, no splitting required.
It makes no difference. Success or failure, it means the US is going back to the core principles of justice, obtain evidence, capture and put on trial and present the evidence, thus proving the validity of laws. Bending international law (bending when there are no reasonable extradition laws) along the in unfortunate but acceptable as long as the pursuit of justice is the goal, that being proof of necessity of action in a court of law. This is far, far better than randomly firing missiles from drones and shows a shift for the better from the US government. It might be hard and it might be costly but doing the right thing always has far better long term benefits.
I can tell you exactly what Snowden will have to say about this. The NSA/CIA intends to do exactly the same thing if they can get away with it. Russia's number one priority catching the NSA/CIA at it and exposing them. Yes, NSA is no match for FSB but that is for doing it within the law (far more extensive message interception laws) on the flip side the FSB is no match for NSA which is comes to breaking their own laws. Which is worse, hmmm, that's fucking easy, breaking you own laws because their is absolutely no limit on that and when you are breaking laws, well what the fuck is to stop you from just manufacturing your own evidence.
Apples were smart. Apple specifically targeted their own specific bling, fad and gadget buying customers and got them to buy it, they tied this in with a saturation marketing campaign and 'FAILED', the got very little market penetration beyond their own existing customer base. The thing I remember most from this time is Apple customers using their iPad to play with their pets and the B$ about iPad being used in preference to large screen desk tops for creative work.
What M$ didn't have was a market for the high priced, unsafe to drop, tablet, like Apple had for their toy computer, people who already ownded an iPod, iPhone and whatever Apple branded computer. People who would buy with little application or use in mind other than to play and pose with it.
Easy solution, don't pretend to be someone you are not and don't be a bloody hypocrite. How often are those whom are the most embarrassed and humiliated by this, the very same people who attack others for it. Who scream for laws banning others from doing it while they do it themselves.
The best solution is suck it up and bite the bullet, when enough people get busted and the questionable behaviour gets exposed as being the norm people become less embarrassed by. For the lying hypocritical jackass political types, who try to make our lives a misery expose the more and more and more.
If you paying to remove your photo, then chances are you are a hypocrite who as attacked and ridiculed others for that behaviour and well, you deserve what you get.
The ignition source, I believe are the words you are looking for. Most likely ignition source will always be the electrical system and the battery power creating a spark at a location where there is fuel or another substance to ignite. Burning is bad, very rapid burning ie an explosion is worse. Big battery, lots of energy to provide an ignition source, so it can readily set a whole range of materials on fire. Petrol of course is not an ignition source but due to high volatility, when the main fuel cell is disrupted and ignited, an explosion is the likely result.
Are the batteries in of themselves particular dangerous, no, not really, it is the electrical potential stored within the batteries, as an high energy ignition source that is dangerous. Likely safety requirement, non-conductive intumescent http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intumescent materials need to be incorporated in battery design to snuff out fires and disrupt short circuits. Interesting point here, whilst those intumescent materials can readily snuff out electrical system fires they would be largely useless against far more dangerous high volatility fuel fires. This would likely be the reason why automobile designers failed to take that particular safety step coming from a point of view of high volatility fuel fire threats.
It is a deceit that denies the end user the right to information about the impact upon them, as the ultimate payer of all patent costs. Technically speaking one company has no legal right to suspend the free speech rights of another company, regardless of illegal conditions of contract inserted in a contract. The judge is now caught in whether a ruling that allows bias in contractual conditions that goes against the spirit of patent law, anti trust laws (artificial distortion of competitive access to a market) and against free speech can stand especially when both players can push it right up to the high court.
I believe what you meant to say, that in keeping conditions of contract secret, Apple can decide which companies will be more competitive and succeed and which companies will fail when it comes to essential (often very very bad) patents. Most call this anti-competitive behaviour as it leads to collusion and cartels, basically companies working together to bankrupt and run other companies out of business.
It seems all shots fired were by law enforcement and after the car chase and the woman was boxed in and couldn't escape she was executed on the spot for ummm, traffic violations, ohh and for being shot at. Next time law enforcement trigger happy freaks might keep track of who was doing the shooting prior to public execution by firing squad.
The whole journal publishing idea seems like one great big obfuscating scam. It seems like publishing has nothing to do with it at all, it is all about the reality of peer review or it's absence. What seems to be the most important issue here is not publishing but the article peer review process. How many people reviewed it, who are they and what are their qualifications with regard to suitability to be involved in the review process. When left to private for profit enterprise this seems basically to be a major screw up and as lives appear to be at stake with regard to what is done with this information a much more government regulated and controlled environment needs to be set up to monitor and control the whole peer review and publishing process.
Especially when the break in was prior to the 17th of September and they didn't notify customer until another customer noticed Adobe source code floating around the internet October the 13th. It would seem if an outside company had not discovered the evidence of the breach Adobes customers would never have been warned that their log in details and credit card details had been stolen. Oh but the credit card details still maybe might secure because they were encrypted and those that could hack the system (likely ex-insiders and outsourcers) maybe might not have passwords for the encryption even though they had passwords for everything else.
It seems like Adobe needs to be answering some very serious question in a court of law as to why that information was withheld from customers for so long.
You missed it. Finally a law to protect police brutality from the hoards of phones with cameras. Is the face an intimate part of the human body, hmm, depends of interpretation. Will showing the face of a person committing an act of violence against others be emotionally distressed? Put the two together and you have created an interpretive law that allows abusive police officers pepper spray and taser anyone that attempts to video their criminal activities.
So a typical Hollywood law to protect the behaviourally reality of the typical pseudo celebrity from their for profit public image can be interpreted in many destructive ways to protect many things all depending upon legal interpretation in a court of law but allow extensive legal abuse prior to that. For some religions the face is intimate and should not be publicly shown. Hence any image which shows that can not be published regardless of circumstance.
Apple became a little less offensive in their saturation advertising, filling every space, every blog and every forum with their marketing bull shit, mind you only a 'little' less offensive and, that's only because they were losing. People got pretty sick of it and paid out the Apple trolls by attacking Apple at every oppurtunity.
The current Apple iPhone is still last years Android phone. Apple's biggest blunder this season was not to produce a phablet as well, huge mistake, this makes the Apple iPhone look even more primitive as for the bling gold colour, dumb.
The Phablets are currently getting the lions share of media space (apart from the short lame paid for spurt by Apple, with the idiocy of higher graphics performance against phones with 2.5 times the pixels to shift). A high resolution large screens are driven by performance, hence it has a high impact on perceptions of value and the 'price' that can be charged. Clearly Samsung is committing fraud to inflate the prices and profit margins of it's products (what does this have to do with Apple, nothing, so piss off Apple trolls).
If you want a printed chart to work in ten years, wait what, it'll work in a hundred years, even a thousand years. Why tablets shouldn't be used, if you have a severe enough electrical failure to knock out the built in charts and manuals in the airplane's computer system with the large screen LCD displays, relying on a toy content distribution tablets seems pretty silly. Sometimes the manual system makes a lot more sense to stick with and the savings wont pay for a plane load of dead customers.
Others things Jerk Jerk A brought in was the advancement of 'water cooled' starships, expelled cadets as captains of fleet flagships, 'red matter'?, oh why bother, let's just cut it down to saturation advertising being able to gloss over a Saturday morning cartoon script as being a "major reboot", that resulted in no TV series and the next even worse effort being put off years, that has pretty well killed the whole trekky thing (I was never into it, but it's demise is becoming pretty apparent).
Once assumes the 'Business Plan' is, search for a nearly developed idea, claim it as our own and, sell the idea. Now that's hardly a new idea in business, regardless of how many companies have been very successful at it, including Apple and M$ s prime examples.
Nah, any company that thinks it's smart to cancel a game fifty percent complete is being run by goofball bean counters. That's a massive investment in art and algorithms just thrown away with no attempt to recover the investment. An attempt to recover games that are on 10% done should be made, they are not movies, they are computer programs and it shows a real lack of understanding, let alone a game 80% done, now that is just crazy.
Actually the article and what it's claiming even if true sounds pretty stupid. Quality Assurance is not a one of but an ongoing process. "Final security testing", now that statement doesn't make any sense at all and on a system that expansive and the privacy invasive should be under continual audit and security testing.
The dumbest idea of all seems to be the idea of fully automating the system rather than incorporating people in the effort, so that system errors can be detected and temporary manual solutions provided.
Single payer with private to up would seem a whole lot less complicated and less costly but greed knows no bounds to stupidity in it's insatiable desire for more, More, MORE.
As an older user I smell a porky pie. Why did M$ use ctrl alt delete to log in, as a marketing tactic to try to obfuscate the growing dissatisfaction of continually having to press ctrl alt delete as a result of BSODs often a several times a day occurrence and the older the install and the greater the use the more frequent the occurrence. As BSOD's ctrl alt delete's you were forced down the route of doing a complete re-install to stabilise the system. So ctrl alt delete to log in, psychologically obfuscates the impact of BSOD ctrl alt delete to attempt to use the system.
This produced another feature of many different applications, the automatic timed save, to routinely save work every few minutes, those minutes being how much work you where willing to lose to routine BSOD ctrl alt delete's. Catch if it BSOD during the automatic save windows often managed to completely destroy the file on the way out, requiring the automatic save to be a different file name to the regular save but of course, 'really big but' the automatic save becomes redundant as you often had to reach back to yesterdays routine save because the time saved was destoyed by windows on it's way out to BSOD.
M$ biggest mistake the Blue Screen Of Death, now for that M$ management of the day should spend the several next millennia roasting in the deepest pits of hell with the other betrayers. Looking back at that age I can wonder about how many 'years' not hours work windows cost me.
A patent for a variation in image transition, whether image to image, image to end of file, image to new folder, image to different grade of image whether size or quality, image to different category of image etc. is clearly bullshit as the whole idea of image transitions is clearly obvious and has been explored in media to the nth degree over the last century. Any patent office that would approve is clearly corrupt and is only interested in passing as many patents as possible to fill US courts and make jobs for lawyers. So reality and what is actually happening makes you claims look like blatant bullshit. Something like IrfanView http://www.irfanview.com/ one of the most popular free image viewers gives a image transition when it comes to the last image, it advises you as such and gives a choice, so that or a bounce or any other affect is clearly not patentable as it is truly old and obvious.
